So my first motorcycle season is over... I must say it was... read the article on bikepost (https://bikepost.ru/blog/92454/Pervyj-motosezon-2020g-na-Bajaj-Avenger.html) I must say it was good, not as planned a year ago, but still good. What did I want? I wanted to travel around Europe, but I couldn’t go due to closed borders. What should we do, sit still? No, we will go wherever we can. And I didn’t have to think long, because... Since winter, we have also been thinking about points for a motorcycle visit in the Leningrad region. We have something to see. Approximately 50 attractions were selected from many hundreds. But there were selection criteria so as not to leave the motorcycle for a long time. There are various reasons for this, including when you’re in full gear you can’t really run around, and I’m lazy about undressing and dressing. But still, I managed to ride both solo and in the company of partners and in organized motorcycle groups. The main thing was positive emotions, I was tired from traveling, but in a good mood. Gradually, an understanding came from my own experience about the power of the motorcycle, although the understanding was there earlier and here it was confirmed almost every time. 220 cubic meters is not enough for intercity. A comfortable speed is 110-115 km/h, the maximum reached 125. But the lack was felt when trying to overtake, when driving against the wind, uphill, and simply when accelerating. The acceleration turned out to be calm)) well, that is. unhurried. Those. often lagged behind more powerful motorcycles. Therefore, in the column I shamefully rolled behind the leaders, since they were kind people, looked in the mirrors and felt sorry... And in the tail everyone is cheerful, they will catch up, they can)) Do I regret that I got just such a spendthrift? No, I don't regret it! For me, no matter how trite it may sound, it was a learning period. On a quiet motorcycle with a weak engine, well, the money issue played an important role. What I could, as they say... By the way, Roman-Mithun Raidchenell helped play a significant role in the selection, without knowing it, we didn’t know each other at that time. I scoured the Internet looking for various information on what to buy and not miss. So I thought that I was on the right track. I wasn't wrong, I know. I am a keen person, if I want to delve into something, I delve as deeply as possible, with training, and all sorts of expenses for the necessary and accompanying items. Only about the companion comes understanding a little later, but the money has already been spent. Equipment, luggage systems, and other bells and whistles. During the course of the play, I saw Seryozha Se’s travel tracks on a map of the globe of Russia, so I need the same thing! How to make them? There is a creative search going on, then I asked him: How do you make them? He said. Everything is easy and simple there. I started doing it, posting VKontakte and face book. More for my own memory, but people also saw it, some even liked it. What's next? And then you need to grow above yourself, develop, try to implement what was planned and not planned. Overcome with God's help. Another motorcycle with a more powerful engine, in the tourenduro configuration, because “everyone will ride them.” My Avenger is neither a cruiser nor a road bike, but a mixture of a bulldog... There is no desire for a sporty one, and I managed to appreciate the wind protection and realize the need for a suspension adapted to uneven roads. So I have Suzuka V-Strom in my sights, can I... I put the bike in winter storage, there the designer asks about the mileage, I say 7800 and complain that it didn’t work out well, like the rains got in the way and all that... He was very surprised, because... For some reason I expected to hear no more than 3t.km. But I really could have driven twice as far if I had had more energy. I did not visit some of the planned points to visit due to the distance of 300-350 km in one direction. I understood that it would be tiring. I'll return to them on a new moto. You could say that almost all of my trips this season are shown in the picture. I drove along some roads back and forth more than once, somewhere once. The motorcycle consumed 237 liters of 92 benzene with a stable consumption of 3 l/100 km. I kept all the statistics, so the data is correct. And what about Bajaj Avenger himself? Well done, he didn’t let me down, didn’t break down, rode and made me happy. But I didn’t bother him either, I’m used to treating things carefully, and the spendthrift is no exception. I will sell it and I won’t be ashamed of it. Don't judge my story harshly, I'm never a writer. Have a nice trip everyone!
